Police in Georgia use water cannon to disperse demonstrators during anti-government rallies, make several arrests
Opposition supporters take part in a rally to protest against the government and demand an early parliamentary election in Tbilisi, Georgia November 25, 2019.
Demonstrators, who were standing at four locations in front of entrances to the parliament, were forced to disperse, although dozens gathered in one place in front of the parliament building. "If protesters violate the law, the state will act adequately," Mamuka Mdinaradze, a lawmaker from the ruling party, told reporters a few hours before police scattered the protesters.
The change was scheduled for 2024 but the opposition is demanding it be brought forward, saying the rules benefit the Georgian Dream party, in power since 2012.
